Alibaba sued Alibabacoin for copyright infringement right after the Alibabacoin raised $3.5 million from its initial coin offering(ICO). This lawsuit was …

It was previously reported that Chinese e-commerce giant took ABBC foundation, a Dubai-based crypto firm to the court regarding the use of its name “Alibaba”. A recent report has however made it known that the crypto firm has agreed to stop using the name for its project.

Alibaba and Alibabacoin Agreement

The agreement reached between the two is said to be one of the criteria of court arrangement made between the two entities Alibabacoin Foundation, also known as ABBC foundation has also released a statement registering its regrets as regards the confusion resulting from its use of the name Alibabacoin Foundation, for its project.

The firm also made it clear that it will now be known as ABBC coin instead of Alibaba foundation.

This change in name is as a result of a lawsuit which was filed by the Chinese E-commerce giant in April of 2018. Alibaba sued Alibabacoin for copyright infringement right after the Alibabacoin raised $3.5 million from its initial coin offering(ICO).

This lawsuit was however ruled against by a United States court the following month. It was reported that ABBC made it clear in its defence that it was not trying to piggyback off the Alibaba name, and that China’s September 2017 ban on initial coin offerings eliminated the main source of potential confusion.

This didn’t stop the giant from keeping moving on with its plan to have the crypto firm close down shop. This steadfastness and continuation eventually paid off, and has a result of this, the Chinese giant won a preliminary injunction against Alibabacoin Foundation in a lawsuit over the misleading use of Alibaba in their name in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Alibaba and DLT

Also, in a recent interview, Liu Song, Alibaba’s vice president made it known that the e-commerce giant is looking to implement blockchain tech for its cross-border supply chains.

Weibo Company Profile

Weibo Corporation, through its subsidiaries, operates as a social media platform for people to create, distribute, and discover Chinese-language content. It operates through two segments, Advertising and Marketing Services, and Value-Added Services. The company offers self-expression products that enable its users to express themselves on its platform; social products to promote social interaction between users on its platform; and discovery products to help users discover content on its platform.

The company, which is backed by tech giant Tencent Holdings Ltd. (00700.HK) and listed on the stock market last September, said its revenue grew 89 percent in October-December to 19.8 billion yuan (US$2.9 billion).

Food orders made up the majority of sales in the quarter as they did in the third quarter, and the company reported a growing user base and increasing gross merchandise volume for its delivery service. However, these gains were offset by having to pay higher labor costs as order volumes jumped and the company had to hire more staff.

As a result, Meituan reported a net loss of 3.4 billion yuan for the quarter ended Dec. 31, increasing from a 2.2 billion yuan loss in the year-earlier period.

The company, which raised US$4.2 billion in its initial public offering, faces stiff competition from rivals such as Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s delivery platform Ele.me and also ride-hailing firm Didi Chuxing, backed by Japan’s SoftBank Group Corp.

Meituan said its overall transaction volume grew 32.5 percent in the fourth quarter from a year earlier.

Meituan is a so-called super app, offering many services and is a sort of cross between US discounting platform Groupon Inc. and online review firm Yelp Inc.

Revenues from “New Initiatives and others”, including Meituan’s bike-sharing division Mobike and its new ride-hailing service, made up 21.2 percent of total sales.

Meituan’s September IPO was seen by some as a gauge of China’s tech sector, which seemed poised for a slowdown after years of rising stock prices and free-flowing venture capital funding. But its stock has since lost nearly a fifth of its value.

Tencent, which is due to report fourth-quarter results later this month, has seen slowing revenue growth over the last four quarters while companies such as JD.com and Didi Chuxing have announced layoffs in recent months.
